Rinse the ashura wheat and soak it in hot water for 15 minutes.
Put the wheat in a pot and cook for 25 minutes with enough water to cover it.
Dice the zucchini, add it to the wheat, and cook for 15 more minutes.
Temper the yogurt with a ladle of hot water so it does not curdle when added to the pot.
Add the yogurt mixture to the dish and heat over low heat for 5 minutes.
Bloom the mint in butter and drizzle it over the keskek before serving.
💡 Tip: Soaking the wheat for 15 minutes in advance helps it open faster.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Spoon the yogurt zucchini keskek into a bowl and drizzle the butter into the center of the wheat surface.
